' qua1'ter ti1rn thereof. 'In this structure the door?, 1s provided witha pivot 85 running from the loor to the top of the doorway and mounted4in 'a manner substantially the same as the pivot 13, described in myapplication Serial No. 466,618. l This pivot 85 is com `posed of thepanels 86, 87 ,L88 and 89 which are-each placed. at rightangles totheadjacent .panels and each of ,these panels is comi posed of two paralleland identical members which ,are separated 'by the thickness of thelslides 90 and 91 which vslide freely between `said panels, lthe slide91moving vbetween till-aparts @mha-.panels serena 8s and the I Theslide90. is vpreferably' Inade continu .tom bars 95 whichl are .secured 'inplace in manypanes of glass as desired and the same -spectively', andeach 'of -t'hese slides is pro- A l and4 bottom asshown inf-Fig. 7 at,92.

.top and bottom whichvmove in suitable runi l 90 ways 97 located in theHoor and ceiling respectively, and these slides also have lsuit-- ableball bearings 98 so as tolmove properly 'and easily betweenthe panels.'`Thecasters 96 act as pintles. andthe'runways 97vact Vas 1.

supportthis pivot if desired.--

. The' slides 90'agud 91 aref'so mpunted= and -v arranged that eachextends from a stanchion- 101 at one side of the car to the post 10Q-ad'way mediatelv above the panels 86, 87, 88 and'89l jacent to the centerof the. car and not far from the conductors railing 5.

In the interior of the car, extending from the post 102, is a curvedguard 103 which runs about 90 to a post 101 as shown in. Fig. 3. Thispost 104 supports a false'v ceiling 105 which extends over the bottomrun- 9'( and supports av similar runway im'- and the slides 90 and 91.AIn this construction the platform is provided with a suitable side panel106 into which a door 107 may slide to permit persons to'leave the carover the step 108. The exit door (lis an ordnary sliding door,preferablycomposed of two'slides 110 and lllrespectivel'y, which moveinto the panel 112 and nextthe post 102 when the door 4 is opened. Thesedoor sections 110 and 111 move-abreast 'so asto leave 'a sufficientlywide 'space for .the exit of passengers. When leavin the car passengerspass b v'the door 4. w ich is then in the panel' 112,011 to the platform2 and thence out of the car by means of thestep 113 or out through thefront of the car. Passengers entering the car enter from the step 113and platform 2 between the rail 5 and the rear end o'f the car and passvby the conductor who stands in the curved portion ofthe rail 5 andcollected `the fares and from .thence between this'` rail 5- and thepanel 106 to the door 3 which is shifted in the conventional-manner,thesame as an ordinary turnstile door. Each quarter turn admits onepassenger only as there is no room for any more. A cash register, notshown, registers each quarter turn of the door so that the numberentering the car is clearly indicated bythe register. Theslides 90 and91 are shifted by the pintles 96 andpintle grooves 97, so that thesevslides will be projected so as to close the entrance and intrude intothe car as little as possible. This construction also makes them moveclear of the conduc tor and gives him ample room to stand. T0 preventpassengers from being pinched between the door sill 114 and the door 3,the oor of the car is `preferably extended as shown in dotted lines anddesignated by the numeral 115 in Fig. 2. l While I have shown' anddescribed one embodiment of my 1nvention,it Vis evident that itis notrestricted thereto but is broad enough to cover all structures that comewithin the scope of the annexed claims.

That- I claim is: f

1. In a device of the class described, a car door consisting of panels,protrudable sliding panels movable with and adapted to move between saidpanels and means for pivoting said panels so that they will move whilecarrying said sliding panels.

2. In a device of the class described, a car door consisting of panelsarranged at substantially right angles A.to vtrudable sliding panels adaeach other, proted to move in said panels and transverse y of each'other and 'means for mounting said panels so that they will revolveabout' a common axis.

3.' In a device of the clam -described, a car door consisting of panelsand a pivot for supporting 'the same, protrudable sliding panels mountedin said pivot and means for 'causing said slidingpanels to move in thedirection of their widthx through said pivot.l

" 4." In a car door or similar device, panels protrudable sliding panelsadapted to move 'through the pivot of the panels, one through the other,'and means for causing said slidesv to movel relatively to each other.

vand means for pivotally mounting the same,

5. In a device of the class described, a car Adoor 'in the form of aturnstile with panels disposed at 'substantially right angles to eachother and composed of parallel membersv mounted' upon a `common pivotand protrudable slidable panels freely movable etween theimembers ofsaid panels.

6. In a device of the class described, a car door in -the form of aturnstile with panels disposed at substantially right-angles -to eachother and composed of parallel members mounted upon a common pivot andprotrudable sliding panels freely movable betweenthe members of saidpanels and a curved guard for said panels.

7; A device for the purpose described comprising a member o r membersmounted for'bodily sliding movement and supported to revolve about asubstantially fixed axis, relatively fixed guides for such member ormembers lfor causing each such member in a rotating about such'axis toreciprocate bodily in its guide in a direction substantially radial tosuch axis, to assume successively operative positions, in which itextends a maximum distance from such axis and across the passage-way,and 4inopertive positions substantially at right angles to the operativepositions, each member being adapted to reverse upon itself atsuccessive operative positions.

S. A device for the purpose described, comprising an element revolublysupported upon a fixed axis of rotation, a member or members slidablysupported on such element and means-for causing each such member, assuch element is rotated, to move reciprocally in directionssubstantially radial to the axis of such element, to. assume suc` n'cessively operative positions, in which it extends a maximum distancefrom such axis and across lthe passageway, and inoperative positions.

9.`A device for the purposedescribed,

comprising a member or members supported to revolve about asubstantially fixed axis and means for causing each such member, inrotating about such axis, to move re-` across theepassageway, andinoperative p01 sitions substantially at right angles to the operativepositions, each such member bey ing reversed upon itself at successiveoperative positions,` and also at successive inoperative positions. l

10.-A device for the purpose described,

.comprising an element revolubly supported upon a xed axis of rotation;a member or members slidably supported on such elementand means forcausing each such member, as such element is rotated, to movereciprocally in directions substantially radial to the axis of suchelement,'to assume successively operative positions, in which it extendsa maximum distance from said axis and across the passageway andinoperative positions, each such member being reversed upon itself atsuccessive operative positions, and also at successive inoperativepositions. 11. A device for the purpose described, comprising a memberor members supported to revolve about a substantially ixed axis, meansfor causing each such member in rotating about such axis, .to assume,succes' sively, operative positions in which it extends a maximumdistance from such axis and'across the passageway, and inoperativepositions substantially at right angles to the operative positions andmeans for causing each suchmember to move in directions substantiallyradial to such axis first in one direction and then in the oppositedirection during correspondingly successive intervals between suchoperative positions.
